I cannot seem to find out whether I can add my own private domain, i.e. not a business user, but I own a personalised domain, with Office 365 Home Premium.
In other words, I would like to use ******@mydomain.com instead of ******@outlook.com.
I know you can do this with Office 365 for Business, but need to know whether this can be done with Home Premium.
Thanks
Chris

You can certainly use your own domain name with 365 Home, as long as you have a Hosted Exchange mail account with a hosted exchange provider.
Err Word 2010 doesn't "support" domains either.
to be able to use your own domain name in Outlook, you need a Hosted exchange account with a Hosted exchange provider, of which there are many.

Otherwise I don't know what you are talking about.
365 Home is not licensed for Business Use
If you have 365 Business it is optional whether you use OneDrive for Business, its not mandatory
Yes, I concur with your understanding and I am in the same position as you with regards to Google Apps. I have it free because I had subscribed a long time ago.
I still do not see why MS do not want to open this up for O365 Home. After all, we are paying an annual fee for 5 users.
As Tom said, it is very common nowadays for families to own a domain name ... which they cannot use with O365.
Personally, I do not think MS have anything to lose if they give us this functionality. I just hope that they look at these threads sometimes to get our feedback :-)
Well I am in exactly the same situation. As far as I am concerned this is a big gap in the Family plan and it's preventing me from migrating from Google Apps. $50/month for a family of four to go to the business edition is just too much. I wish MS would address this. Custom domains are really not that unusal in the family/personal space.
